The Global Immersion, a key component of the UBC MBA is part of the Business Strategy Integration course that seeks to expand the ideas around integrative problem solving. It is a 3-stage, experiential learning program focusing on business strategy, intercultural understanding, global business practices, and exposure to regional business trends and networks. The program will include 3 Classes before the trip, the trip itself in one of the three or four relevant destinations, and a post-trip debrief to share learnings. The two-week trip will include company visits, working in teams, cultural excursions, and strategy-shaping sessions with one of Sauder\u2019s world-class partner schools. The goal is for the students to gather first-hand knowledge about the business and culture of another region or country, and develop the confidence to work on the world stage.<\/p>\n
